Abstract
There are many Oscar Wildes—a ‘complex multiform creature’ indeed, as his biographers never tire of informing us—though popular culture tends to be interested in only a handful. For years, Wilde was treated as an ‘English’ writer; that he was born and reared in Ireland was considered relatively unimportant. Nowadays, of course, his Irishness is much better known and ‘Wilde the Irishman’ has been welcomed on to the public and scholarly stage. However, the full extent of Wilde’s immersion in Irish cultural life is still the subject of intense debate in Wilde Studies, and the influence of that immersion on his mature work is still being gauged. Starting with a neglected episode of Wilde’s young adult life where he read a paper on Irish mythology to members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science on excursion in Howth in 1878, this chapter will resituate Wilde in an expansive Irish institutional and cultural environment, and assess its importance to understanding him in the round.

Abstract
There are many Oscar Wildes—a ‘complex multiform creature’ indeed, as his biographers never tire of informing us—though popular culture tends to be interested in only a handful.
For years, Wilde was treated as an ‘English’ writer; that he was born and reared in Ireland was considered relatively unimportant.
Nowadays, of course, his Irishness is much better known and ‘Wilde the Irishman’ has been welcomed on to the public and scholarly stage.
However, the full extent of Wilde’s immersion in Irish cultural life is still the subject of intense debate in Wilde Studies, and the influence of that immersion on his mature work is still being gauged.
Starting with a neglected episode of Wilde’s young adult life where he read a paper on Irish mythology to members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science on excursion in Howth in 1878, this chapter will resituate Wilde in an expansive Irish institutional and cultural environment, and assess its importance to understanding him in the round.
